Default Hive no 1

Well, great news....went into hive 1 home of Attila the Hum.
If you remember the bee inspector called, no nasties but NO Queen Attila either
Kind Inspector said not to worry there is a good queen cell there, they should hatch a new one! So after a nervous 3 weeks of pacing I opened the hive on Saturday.
First few frames clean, dry cells and then some with food stores (honey and pollen) next few frames very light, good clean cells but no eggs or brood.
Then.....there she was - Attila the second, looking beautiful. WOW I could have danced, Even Mr HF got to meet her royal Queen' ness so put the hive back together and will give her a couple of weeks and check again. Fingers crossed I hope to see eggs and brood!

One very happy Headfry!
